"She stood up for what she believed in, no matter what she had to go through, and she was willing to do whatever she needed to," Taylor said. The list of women affecting others throughout history also included Eve, Gov. Olene Walker, Dolores Huerta, Clara Barton and more. When asked about a woman who had affected her personally, Taylor chose her mother. "She sort of shows people that you can rise above any situation and that your attitude determines your destiny," Taylor said. "Sister, daughters, anything that a woman can be, I think; is significant." Forrest Crawford, assistant to the president for diversity, also chose his mother. He said he did so because of her unconditional support. "I also consider her being very brave," Crawford said.

The equipment is valued at approximately $20,000 to $30,000 according to Michael Vaughn, the dean of Weber State University's John B. Goddard School of Business & Economics. Last week's incident is the latest in a string of robberies for tire "I don't think we've gone more than two months without a theft this year' Michael Vaughn WSU John B. Goddard School of Business & Economics dean beleaguered business school. "I don't think we've gone more than two months without a theft this year," Vaughn said. "We've had projectors taken out of classrooms, we've had four laptops taken a few weeks ago, and we've had this most recent theft of 10 laptops and the workstation." Vaughn said the Davis Campus was open just two weeks when a $7,500 touch-screen monitor was stolen. However, the equipment is worth more money to Shelly Belflower, Wattis Building computer specialist and information systems and technology professor, because it was the building's only technologically advanced classroom. "Teachers who teach in that classroom require use of computers during class, so the value on that level is almost priceless," Belflower said. She said the three classes taught in the room were hastily relocated and are at least one week behind on their syllabuses. David Petrie, WSU assistant professor in the Department of Information Systems and Technology , teaches a 6000-level course that relies on the room; he said the crime may hurt some of these students the most. "We're going to rely more on students to have their own computers," he said. Petrie added this is going to be a financial burden for students who don't have their own computers. See Heist page 3
